Have been here several times before. Five of us went for lunch last Sunday.2 of us had the roast beef, with all the usual accompaniments. It was delicious some of the best beef I have tried.My wife had the Haddock Mornay which she said was excellent. In all a good experience, staff attentive and efficient see you again very soon.Thank you.

Visited here whilst on a short visit to Banchory. We had a look around in the afternoon and decided to eat there in the evening. I'm glad we called to book for a table as it was reasonably busy with very few empty tables. The restaurant is to the back of the building through the nice looking bar. We were quickly shown to our table and orders taken. They had a guest ale on which was very nice. Black Sheep Breweries "Proper Job". I had the black pudding fritters to start followed by the chicken curry. My wife had the macaroni followed by banoffee tart. Good portions, well cooked and tasty. Good solid pub food. All staff very friendly.

We had a lovely meal, choice amazing, reasonably priced, value for money and portions wow. Would certainly recommend this place to eat our waitress was attentive,helpful and friendly. We struggled to fault this meal. Certainly be back.

Food was decent but service was desperately slow, even though it was the weekend and the place was far from busy (maybe 30% capacity). Staff were nice enough... Helpful but without the joy on their face and spring in their step you'd like to experience at any eatery worth their salt. Even coffee's took 15min to prepare...It was ok, but not the experience I had hoped for.Vegetarian options: There was a veggie burger on the menu if that helps anyone...

A lovely place to meet for a meal. The food was stunning and I could have spent hours looking at the various paintings they have on the walls. Staff were absolutely brilliant too.

Family meal. All mains were tasty and big portions. Desserts were great as well. Friendly and attentive young staff. Place was full on a Tuesday night.

For our last day in Scotland we decided to go for a Sunday roast ,we looked at reviews of eateries in banchory and went to Scott Skinner's restaurant , a lovely setting and a big choice of menu , I decided not to have the roast because haggis was on the menu, there was 4 haggis bon bons with Drambuie sauce with chips and vegetables ,it was lovely, the rest of my family had roast beef, it was a large roast with plenty of beef and vegetables and Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes, the meal was delicious and would recommend this restaurant

Our review certainly differs from previous reviews, may be because place filled up soon after we arrived! Staff were pleasant, but not overly friendly. Chicken curry was basically chicken in a sauce…..certainly not tasting like a curry should; the chicken in the Chicken Maryland was over cooked, and together with the chips, banana and pineapple it was all fried, accompanying salad was limp and overly tasted of onions (presumably made up and left). Previous reviews says dog friendly but there is a notice on the door stating no dogs allowed. Often in the area but won’t be hurrying back.

Came here after Dunnotter Castle. Glad we did! Food was delicious and the dessert was even better! Some of the best toffee pudding I've had. The bartender was great too!

Stopped here for lunch while driving from Dunnottar Castle to Balmoral Castle, and glad we picked it. The main courses were good (especially the steak pie), the service was excellent, and the desserts were spot on! Would recommend for for lunch.

The pub is in a lovely area of the Royal Deeside. We came for a Sunday pub lunch. The customer service: they were pleasant but slow.Food was not piping hot. It was warm.The pub itself looks good and clean. Good selection of drinks. Dogs ? are accepted at their tables outside but not in the pub.The menu is varied and prices average
